I've been buying this brand for a while until my coworker said that they also sell his at Costco for $2.00 less. So I bought first and foremost because I like the bag, and cheaper and want to try. Wow, there's a very big difference especially the smell. The Costo one smells so bad and old unlike Royal, which smells so clean and new. I will just stick with this brand.

The item is amazing. I dont think i can go back to jasmine rice again, cooked my first batch ever in my rice cooker and the results are wonderful. Puffy, light yet feeling best part it makes delicious cilantro lime rice w/o sticking to the pot. Don't know how long, this 20lbs bag will last but I'm sure it'll worth $20.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this rice. It is my favorite to cook because it is so easy and delicious to eat!! The packaging is easy to use and doesn’t make a mess. I would for sure buy this again and would recommend it to everyone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was just thinking what to cook for my son visiting from college. Using my Royal rice to make steamed rice for my chicken fried rice recipe. This rice smells great cooking. Love using Tasmania rice when I make India and Orientall dishes. Love the new packaging as easy to spot on the shelf. Great recordable bag!

I always buy Royal Basmati rice from Costco or Sam's Club. But both the wholesale stores are struggling to fulfill demand and I turned it to Walmart. Price was really competitive $16 for 20lb bag. But I was not impressed with open bag. Zip was not locked.

this company has consistency problems. a 20lbs nov'2019 packed sack from cost co had zero fragrance, lacked hint of almond husk flavor and a starchy chew. my guess is this batch (left) was domestic usa grown and not actually imported from india where the authentic (right) stuff is grown. don't get me wrong, the rice i got was fresh and good quality, but if you are looking for real basmati, i would not trust this brand anymore.

I would not recommend it if you are used to a good Jasmine rice. I wish I could return it. It is super dry and next day you can't even eat it. I eat and cook rice everyday almost and I can tell you that this is not a good rice for people who eat it regularly.

I was hoping that this would be the product of old. NOT! Real Basmati has a distinctive flavor…this might as well have been Uncle Bens. No Basmati flavor at all. Oh, it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t Basmati! Regardless of what the packaging said the source was. Don’t know what they do to it but Basmati and Thai Jasmine have none of the flavor that they used to. For the price, this was a waste of money!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooked up perfectly. For some reason whenever I make rice it always takes longer than the package says. Not this. It was ready in 15 minutes and was delicious. I made it with curry chicken with vegetables and was so good. I love basmati rice. This might be my new favorite brand.

From last year I started buying this basnati rice. As it is very authentic long grain and aromatic rice. The rice grain helds good in biryani recipes and doesnt get mushy. The recent purchased bag is very different The color is more whiter and rice grain is shorter in size. Though recipe came out good but I used to like the previous rice whih brown bran and long size grain.
